Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
for some reason after i added dirt to the pot the banana in the last photo got torn to shreds by an animal
here is that matoke again... it is one of my fastest growing plants right now the plants are on a roll... i might start marking the hydro pole with dates and plant heights :) soon the no parking sign will be a good marker to track the growth in pics |
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
Your garden looks very green and bushy:)

Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
cincinnana, thank you for showing what basjoo should look like
they really do like spending the winter outdoors my biggest basjoo by a long shot i like wstrickland's funny names for banana plants i think i might start calling my basjoo : count trunkula my balbisiana decided to start growing fast this mystery seedling is growing fast as well... its a beauty another beauty in the garden is the pisang keling it has a pink sheen on certain angles on the underside a curly end to the cigar on thai black |
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
Count Trunkula is a beast!!!
|
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
so i did some transplanting and the balbisiana and mystery seedling seem to like their new container
big mike is getting bigger as are the ones out front... you can see the no parking sign now for future reference of height count trunkula new look to the pisang keling my supposed blue java in the 65 gal pot is pulling away from the rest.. i thought the matoke might outgrow it at one point.. thai black is still in the race.. but lagging in other news something ate one of my pineapples last night! i managed to salvage half of it. i had a cage around the fruit but did not secure it well enough |
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
Beautiful landscape as always! Did I spy a plant that would make the likes of Bob Marley happy? :)

Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
i went out of town for a week and some friends watered for me while i was gone and during that time my pisang keling got knocked over
one good thing i noticed a couple days ago is that my hua moa is flowering! not the most thriving of specimen so i do not have super high hopes for the fruit but it will be interesting regardless i need to get a prop going because the stem is rather thin the ones out front are growing nicely... the ice cream (hopefully tall namwa) has a bunch of pups now i was wondering since both plants are balbisiana if the edge of the leaf would curl on my balbisiana var balbisiana well that has been answered here is the thai black (balbisiana atia black) and here is the balbisiana var balbisiana which is growing nicely.. here you can see it is much taller than the monarda now here are those two plants again with the taller bananas in the background they are in a slightly different part of the yard this year but the thai black and the plumeria are still neighbours a pic from the back deck.. you can see some of the damage to the pisang keling it is being propped up with a chair for now in this pic you can see the flowering hua moa on the left side left to right behind the hua moa: thai black, supposed blue java, matoke, basjoo and big mike on the far right...sorry i only named the tallest ones.. lots of others in that pic as well the thai black, supposed blue java and matoke are dukeing it out for tallest plant in the yard so far the supposed blue java has been holding its early lead... it was the tallest when it came outside in the spring its pups are starting to get bigger as well last but not least... the count (anyone watch the hilarious house of frightenstien?) |

Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
What zone are you in again? You obviously work very hard on your plants. Very nice work.
|
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
i am in toronto, canada
it is hard to say what zone i am in since apparently the US and CAD zone maps are not compatible "The United States Department of Agriculture hardiness map and the Canadian hardiness map shouldn't be used interchangeably. The two systems differ anywhere from half a zone (warmer or colder) to as much as two zones, preventing an exact exchange or even a standard means for conversion." likely around 6 though thanks everyone, i will post some frequent updates on the flower as it has changed even since yesterday see pic below v v v v v v |

Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
starting to see bananas!
|
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
yesterday morning:
this morning: ten bananas showing so far |
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
i pruned the male flower bud off i put a balbisiana seedling next to the mekong giant to compare growth rate surprisingly the mekong giant is holding its own it was growing very slowly in the spring this mystery seedling is now looking different from the one out front with the splotching on the leaf it has no pups whereas the one out front has 5 the plants out front pic i took from the stepladder count trunkula |
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
That's Awesome! Do you have a place to put that Hua Moa so those bananas can continue to develop?
|
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
my plan is to let them develop as much as possible outside and then cut down the main stem...
dig up the corm and pup and plant into a smaller container the one pup is my only copy at this point the plant is already a little unhappy with the cooler weather here are a couple pics of my latest mystery seedling which popped up unexpectedly in some sugar cane i had buried in a pot i am hoping it is velutina! |
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
i took a pic from one of the 2nd floor windows
the balbisiana is growing fast that is it in the middle trying to join all the tall banana plants here is the balbisiana at another angle another smaller balbisiana on the left, mekong giant on the right hua moa thai black my white jade pineapple looks like it is ripening |
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
i moved a tomato plant out of the way to show the thai black a little better
here are the plants out front i noticed the mystery seedling has matured to the point where the underside of the unfurling leaf is no longer red different angle my tallest sugar cane the balbisiana grew like crazy more pics |
Re: subsonicdrone's 2021 thread
Wow! All your plants are beautiful! Really tall too! :birthdaynana:on the bananas as well! I’m genuinely impressed! :goteam:
